English Atrocities in Armagh,

In 1855, Philip of Worcester, then
Lord Justice Or Governor Of Ireland,
entered the City of Armagh at the head
of an army of Norman and Saxon ad
yenturers and mercenaries. For six
successive days the town was subject to
the lawless pillage and barbaritjes of
these organized ruftians. Worcester
spent the Lenten season in riotous
feasting and indecent carousals, and
then proceeded to levy. severe pecuniary
sxactions on the clergy, who even by
English law were exempt from such
imposts. So Unsuitable was the greed
of the Lord Justice and his companions
that they stole even the cooking uten-
sils Of the priests of Armagh. Retribu-
tion followed one of these thefIs, that
of large cauldron, which one Hugh
Tirell, one of Worcestur's lieutenants,
carried off with him to Down. Here an
accidental fire burned down the house
where he lay and destroyed many of
of his horses. Struck with horror IT.
rell hastened to restore the cauldron,
but afterwards, says an historian of
Armagh, ''perished in the most miser-
able manner"

lFrom the Irish Worldly
Iron Works Of Drumshambo.


The mountains of Leitrim on the east
side of Lough Allen were SO noted cen
turies ago for the quantity OF iron ore
they contained that they got the name
Of Sliabh-an-jarainn, or mountains OF
iron. Works for smelling and manu-
featuring this ore were carried on at
Drumshanbo in the early part of the
last century and contin-
ued in operation till 1865. The iron
stone was chiefly collected from the
eastern shore of Lough Allen and in the
beds Of the streams that descend from
the mountains to the lake, where also
small works formerly existed. Vast
woods, which formerly clothed the
neighboring valleys, supplied charcoal,
and limestone was quarried close to the
works, which appear to have simply
been one small square blast furnace,
from which the iron was carried into
Drumshambo, where it was forged into
bars.

REUNITED IN PRISON..
Mother and Daughter Meet In a House q.
Core ction After Eighteen Years.

Mother and Daughter Meet In a House ~
Correction After Eighteen Years.
Milwaukee (Wis.) correspondent Of
the Philadelphia CAL relates the following
tragical story. The singular and pathetic
meeting OF mother and daughter, after a
separation OF eighteen years, has occurred
at the House OF Correction. In 1853 the pa
rents of Mrs. Crowley. of Washington
County, took from her and cared for her
eighteen months sold child, she being ad.
dicted to drink and incompetent to raise
the little one. Mrs. Crowley was permit
ted to occasionally see her daughter, but
in 1869, her husband having been killed in
the war, she drifted away to parts un-
known. The daughter came to Milwaukee
at an early age, found employment in the
family Of Colonel Vaughn and remained
there until she met and married Ben
Eeery, the champion skater. Soon after
this the mother returned to claim her
daughter. -.
Colonel Vaughn, fearing she would dis.
grace the daughter, misled her by saying
the latter had married man named Egan.
For years this woman had been searching
for this imaginary Mrs. Egan, and failure
to find the object Of her search has driven
her further along the downward road. She
has been sent to the House Of
Correction time and time again. Sorrow
was also in store for the daughter. Seery
became abusive, Jailed to support his fam
lily, and year ago Mrs. Seery was forced
to leave him and seek support for herself
and two children as best she could. She
saw her little ones almost dying from
want of food, and some weeks ago, late
one night, she was taken by policeman
to the Central station, and the following
day was sentenced to to House of Correc-
ton.
By chance the mother was also serving
q term, and as was her custom with every
prisoner or person she met, made inquiries
Of the daughter regarding the missing
Mrs. Egan. At the conclusion Of the
mothers story Mrs Seery remarked upon
it's similarity to that Of her early life, and
in reviewing her life mentioned :. Grandpa
and Grandma Crombie." A scene such as
had never before been witnessed in the
prison followed, and the mother and lost
daughter were reunited. The mother has
month longer than the daughter to
serve, but the latter will endeavor to re.
main until they can depart together, be.
gin life anew and follow the pathway ot
reform.

LansdoWne's Robherias

Lord Lansdowne's hereditary estates
comprise most of the County Kerry.
HIS tenantry number over 5000 peo-
pie. He has mansion, Dereen House,
about twenty miles from the town of
Kenmare. Lansdowne spends none of
his time there, however. The grand
father of the present Lord left the es-
tates badly encumbered. He had spent
most of his time in London, was fast
man, and so when the present Lord
came into the property he found him.
self heir mostly to debts and heavy
mortgages. The estate is under the
management of Townsend Trench.
whose father was manager before him.
The mortgages had to be cleared off and
Trench was the man to do it. During
the fearful famine time of 1879 Lans-
downe was one Of the Irish landlords
who would neither give time nor reduce
the rents. On the contrary, his agent,
presumably under his instructions, gave
the screw another turn. The heavy
encumbrances must be removed.
Trench boldly declared in the street at
Kenmare one day that he made el0, 1000
for Lord lansdowne that day. How
so?' was asked, for the assertion seemed
foolish IN those starving times. by
raising the rents all around he re-
piled. If the tenants were not able to
nav the rent, then came eviction. This
was possible because of the custom
known as hanging gale, THAT is,eyery
tenant owes to the landlord a fictitious
half years rent. No matter if the rent
is in reality paid up in full, there is al
ways hanging over the head of the luck
less tenant this fictitious debt, and
upon that cause he may be evicted at
any time. Nor was the raising of the
rents the worst of Lansdowne's exac-
tions. The soil in Kerry, though fer
tile, is very heavy and not easily
worked. Fortunately there runs
through the country a sub-stratum of
lime rock. Upon every farm there was
little limekiln where the farmers were
accustomed to burn out as much lime
as they needed from year to year with
no additional expense to themselves.
With this they used to make the soil
light and arabic, and it was an absolute
necessity with them. In 1879, just at
the time of the famine, Trench con-
ceiyed a fine scheme to raise more
money. Instead Of allowing the ten
ants to burn their own
lime, large kiln was established by
the estate and the tenants were prohib-
tied from burning lime out for them
selves For this lime they were obliged
to pay two shilllngs sixpence per barrel
in cash or from one shilling threepence
to one shilling sixpence if it were paid
as a permanent increase to the rent.
The lime was necessity, because the
soil could not be worked without it. A
greater act of meanness followed. Par
lament voted an appropriation OF
money from the Church Fund for the
relief of the tenantry of Ireland. By
paving this money to the people as pay
for working their own land it was
thought that the want would be re-
lieved without encouraging pauperism.
OF this money Lansdowne obtained
about e25,0OO or $50, 900, for which he
was to pay an interest Of per cent.
/ He was kind enough to require 5 per
i cent from; the tenants for the use Of it.
